Baseball Today


Good morning JR. I hope you slept well.

I see that your Brewers have won two in a row and are hanging on to the wild card lead.
 
My Phillies struggled against the Marlins on Tuesday, but came back last night and shut them out. They still have a two or three game lead in the East. Hopefully they can continue this afternoon where they left off last night. As a side, the Phillies have had 55 home games this year and 36 of them have been sellouts. Not too bad. Go Phillies!

How about them Rays? I don't know if there is any stopping them. Six run 9th last night to win the game, including a 3 run walk-off homerun. I think an Angels/Rays AL crown series would be good.

I saw the Phils did well again.  That's great.   I also saw the Rays had a big inning.

Unfortunately those Cubs put together an  run inning to erase a 4 - 1 deficit to the Astros.  They're amazing no.gif

What I DIDN'T see was the Brewer game, nor the last two games, nor will I see the next THREE games, because they're all played against black-out teams!

Why am I paying $200 for the Extra Inning Package?  Teams 300 - 500 miles from me are inexplicably blacked out.  I just don't get it no.gif

I also saw the Met's lost, that's great!

I hope you guys run away with the division.  That'll take some pressure off your team and probably mean no one from the east will challenge for the Wild Card.

I thought that if you had the package you got every game, unless it was your home market. Kind of like ESPN does when they do Wednesday night baseball. Which means since you aren't in Milwaukee, you should see them all. I would have to call and complain about that. I guess you just have to watch my Phillies instead.

Darn Cubs.

I did too Fuzz. But apparently MLB considers all those teams to be my home market. Maybe it's because this state hasn't got it's own team.

You would THINK that in a state with no home team you'd want them to see all the nearby clubs so maybe you'll become a fan of one.

The only team I understand is Atlanta, because they have all their games televised in this market.

But why Baltimore, Washington and Cincinatti?

I feel like I was really ripped off this year.

I wonder if I had the package if I would be able to watch the Mets, Yankees, Nationals, Orioles or Pirates games. All those teams have to be closer to me than the Brewers and Reds are to you.

I bet all those would be blacked out for you Fuzz.

Then what the heck is the point of getting the sports package?

I don't know :( If I had it to do over again I probably wouldn't.

Last year I had it and NO ONE was blacked out! Not the Cubs, Not the White Sox (90 miles away), not the Twins, nor the Cardinals, Royals or Reds.

So I have no idea why there are so many blackouts here.

I'm not really all that interested in baseball, likely because I don't have a team to root for. But I watched the Rays for a little bit when we were in the Tampa area. Now I'm finding I perk up whenever the Rays are mentioned. Hm, maybe I'm getting a team.

Mz - not a bad team to have this year. They have struggled every year since the franchise was added. They are just on a tear this year.

I agree. The Rays are a great team to start backing. Nice young guys that are surprising a lot of people with their talent and hustle.

Phillies lost this afternoon. They suck. I didn't get to pay attention to the game. I had lunch and then a meeting that ate up most of the game.

I'm just worried that if I adopt the Rays now, it'll look like I'm a fair weather fan. In fact, I kind of am, this would be my baseball test run.

Sorry Fuzz. I wish I'd known they were on I would have watched them.

MZ, it's always good to dip yur feet into a new sport with a winning team. Besides you can't be viewed a bandwagon jumper if you weren't a fan of someone else.
